Dear Satya Srinivas,The painting of Smt. Mamidi Anantha Lakshmi, Amma for me too, captures the total persona of the grand lady, in toto. Heartiest congratulations on making this painting!! I did not know that you are also attached to the Mamidi family close enough to make this portrait. A wonderful piece of art and an even more wonderful dipiction of one so close to my heart.
